About Us

School's history

The Calgary Chinese Private School was founded in 1916 by a group of dedicated and passionate overseas Chinese. Working closely with local churches, their purpose is to preserve and propagate Chinese language and culture. In March of 1939, the school had registered to become a legitimate educational institution. Afterward, it changed its name to Calgary Chinese Public School and has been the premier Chinese language school in the city of Calgary. The CCPS is also the first Chinese language school to be accredited by Alberta Learning.

Our Team

Our school staffs are highly-qualified, respected and experienced. They are certified teachers from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Canada. Many of them have received outstanding teacher awards from various education organizations in China. However, regardless of their backgrounds, the school staffs work ceaselessly to further improve student experience and the quality of instructions. 

Our Goal

The ultimate goal of the CCPS is to propagate Chinese language and culture, and in the process, foster students to be virtuous, intelligent, physically active, gregarious and graceful.

Our Impact

For more than half a century, alumni of CCPS have spread across the world, from Canada all the way to China, and all the places in between. Utilizing their bilingual skills, these individuals are performing brilliantly in their respective fields and serving their communities.

Principal's Message

Dear Students and Parents, 

I am filled with great anticipation and enthusiasm for the journey that lies ahead. It is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to both new and returning members of our school community. 

At the Calgary Chinese Private School, we are proud to be fostering a vibrant learning environment that not only promotes academic excellence in Chinese language and culture, but also nurtures personal growth and development. Our commitment to holistic education is deeply rooted in the Chinese values of diligence, integrity, and respect. 

As the principal, I am dedicated to ensuring that every student receives the support and guidance they need to reach their full potential. Through our comprehensive curriculum, and dedicated faculty members, we strive to empower our students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world. 

I encourage every student to actively engage in all aspects of school life, whether it be through academics, extracurricular activities, or community service. By embracing diversity, fostering collaboration, and embracing a spirit of innovation, we can create a dynamic learning community where every individual is valued and respected. 

As we embark on this journey together, I am confident that we will achieve great things. I recognize that learning a new language is not easy, especially the Chinese language. With hard work, determination, and a shared commitment to excellence, there is no limit to what students can accomplish. 

Thank you for entrusting us with the education and well-being of your children. Together, let us work towards a brighter future filled with endless possibilities for our future generations! 

Sincerely,
